Enough with the victim card. The president was black, the richest couple (Beyonce and Jay Z) are black, heads of companies are black, managers are black, teachers are black, some of the most important and influencal people are black. This whole hating on white people trend needs to stop, it is not going to fix the problems the black community faces today The president was black...Ok? Did you not see how Republicans treated him for 8 years? Yikes. Not pretty. You're hurting your argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But black people are still very oppressed. The movie isn't aimed to hate on white people. It's more like "Hey you guys, you say some stuff that is really offensive and we thought we should let you know. Let's make a satire comedy about it."

Not pretty. You're hurting your argument. They did what every opposing political party does every time, not support there presidency and what they stand for. Republicans supported Ben Carson and Allen West, two black conservatives and support black conservative spokeswomen, Diamond and Silk. There are racists on both sides. There are racists on the republican side and there are racists on the democrat side, racism will never be fully eliminated in a while GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you are coming from but this movie (and show) are based on things that white people mostly just don't get. For example: white people say "Can I touch your hair?" "Oh so you're black but, you're not like ghetto" "I mean he was black but, he talked really white. You know...educated. " Etc. "She is pretty for a black girl" "I can't be racist, I have a black friend" I cringe every time someone says things like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All people are still not treated equally. White people in America are at the top of the food chain. Apparently the show is satire. It's comedy. Based on what some white people say. Whites are not being threatened. Meanwhile blacks were enslaved and segregated from society for far too long. It would not be the same if they made a Dear Black People.

I'm white and I have a diverse group of friends. We all have seen this movie and we get it. Some people won't and it's ok. Seriously, no shade. I totally agree, the way black people were (and in some cases still are) treated in america is a disgrace, i don't think any rational human being doesn't agree with this. But this kind of bullshit doesn't solve anything and only drives people apart. It goes completely against what MLK stood for only 50 years ago and shoves people into categories based on their skin colour and heritage. Why the **** should white people feel bad for something that happened in the past? Like.. my ancestors are Sicilian and i could sit here arguing about them being forced into slavery and being slaughtered by whites... but it doesn't matter now. The hypocrisy makes me so ****ing mad and if the same thing can't be said on the other side (dear black people... could you imagine a tv series like that?)... this shouldn't exist.

Morphine Prince 96,073 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 "Hating white people" Omg Who hates white people? White people are the most praised in Western civilization (due to being the majority). White people are the standard for beauty and intelligence. Meanwhile other races have historically been seen as inferior. I love the non-ignorant white people. Some of the best people tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how does framing black people as victims and white people as oppressors actually solve anything? This series is by definition racist and only aggravates and drives people further apart.

It's a comedy. Some white people do stuff that's racially insensitive to this day. Comedies can be great social commentary If anything the only ones dividing themselves are the white people who don't get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on perspective. I'm white and I loved the movie and am looking forward to the show. Same with my friends, some black, some white, some other ethnicities. It brought me closer to my friends of color because it was like "Damn, I knew it was bad but woah. HAVE I SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT?!" Kinda thing. And then it started a dialogue and we were able to talk about it and grow and understand each other more. If that isn't brining us together, then I don't know what is.

Racial inequality is still an issue; black people still do not have equal opportunities when it comes to jobs or schooling. Just because there's a TV show that pokes fun at white people doesn't mean that white skinned people are suddenly oppressed or under attack. It's so unfortunate how black people have been lynched, abused, tortured and been the victims of racism and racial jokes but the second someone cracks a joke about a white person THEN it's an issue. I'm sorry if your feelings are hurt but honestly suck it up. For white people it's so easy to say that everything should be sugar and rainbows and that we should act like everyone is equal, but we're not. We never have been. You acting like we are is making the situation even worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all you have to do is flip that trailer around and imagine a white girl listing everything wrong with black people. That's not funny. Nothing about this trailer is funny, it's just radical leftist bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
